Prayer – O Holy Angel at my Side

O Holy Angel at my side, go to the church for me,
Kneel in my place at Holy Mass, where I desire to be.
At Offertory, in my stead, take all I am and own,
And place it as a sacrifice, upon the altar throne.
At Holy Consecration’s bell, adore with seraph’s love
My Jesus hidden in the Host, come down from Heav’n above.
Then pray for those I dearly love, and those who cause me grief,
That Jesus’ Blood may cleanse all hearts ,and suffering souls relieve.
And when the priest Communion takes, oh, bring my Lord to me,
That His sweet Hart may rest on mine, and I His temple be.
Pray that this Sacrifice Divine, may mankind’s sins efface;
Then bring me Jesus’ blessing home,
the pledge of every grace.
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
